Tolerance is key character trait we should all practice.

People always like the idea of limiting other's rights and choices because they believe they'll be on the winning side, and only someone else's rights will be trampled. But assuming things will go in your favor is risky. Let's look at this driving thread through that lens...

DRIVERS:
Only those that can afford the privilege, and have the safest driving record should be able to drive. So let's limit driving to women age 30 to 55. After all, they get in the fewest accidents. Now let's limit it to women with a net worth of $500,000, and a yearly income of $100,000 or more. Still like the idea?

CARS:
Better than banning SUVs is banning all cars over five years old. Let's compare that old 911 to an SUV. Per mile, the 911 pollute oodles more than a new SUV. The mileage of the 911 is worse than some SUVs. The 911 doesn’t really hold much either. An SUV will hold the groceries, and an entire family going on a week long vacation. So lets ban all sports cars, and cars over five years in age.

THE POINT:
You drive what you want, and I'll drive what I want. You do your best not to run into me, and I'll do the same.
